We throw thousands of people in prison for the books they read, the company they keep, the beliefs they hold. Here’s why.
Ow, this hurts to read :(
This is why it’s so funny/tragic when people degrade Kim Kardashian for the fact that she made a sex tape, calling her a worthless slut, gold-digging whore etc (literally everyone ever’s reaction when someone mentions Kim Kardashian. Congratuations, you’re so original! And such a charming person!)
Like.. she doesn’t care. She was horny and she felt like it. What other reason does someone need to make a sex tape with their boyfriend? The fact that he was then evil enough to completely violate her privacy and release the tape without her permission is his bad. That’s on him. He’s a cunt, as is any man who publicizes naked photos and video footage of women against their will. Also a criminal.
And it was one of the most shattering things that can happen to a woman. If someone released a video of me then god, I’d be heartbroken. I’d have crawled under a rock and never come out again. But she recovered and then made a hugely successful career for herself, her mother and all four of her sisters, and… people portray that as a bad thing? “Her whole family is only famous for her sex tape!!!” Yep, and? Go on, keep calling her a pointless whore. She can’t hear you over her multiple successful businesses, tv shows, endorsement deals and the guaranteed-safe futures of herself and her entire family.
Yep - this is also why, if you call Kardashian stupid or an attention whore or just a whore, you are a sexist.
No, please don’t try to add a caveat. If you don’t like what the Kardashians represent, you are a sexist. You are. Just deal with that and move on with your life. Because you’ve decided that a woman taking credit for a sex tape and building an entire reality-show empire around herself and her family - a woman who’s decided “people want to watch me, so I’ll let them watch me” - is doing womanhood wrong. You’ve decided that wanting attention, courting the media, having a sex life in the spotlight makes a woman less than you. You’ve decided that the biggest crime a woman can commit is “ugh, being everywhere, on all those magazine covers” when what she should have done is slink away back into obscurity, like she deserved.
Don’t pretend that you didn’t want her punished for releasing a sex tape. Don’t pretend that you don’t still want her punished. Because every time I hear you complain about the Kardashians of the world, that’s what I hear. And I’m way more sick of listening to you complain than you are of seeing Kim Kardashian’s face.
Ouch. Point and match.
Totally agreed with all of the above. And also, I now know for the first time why Kardashians are a thing (still could swear that’s an alien race on Star Trek) and exactly how many of them there are.
I’M DYING AND LOVING BENEDICT EVEN MORE!!!
Hello Cumberbuddy!
Oh my god, Ben!
“He just kissed one of my bitches!”
I want to keep this forever and watch it when I’m sad. You precious, precious men.
Augh. Jesus fuck, this is the single most edible picture of either John Watson or Martin Freeman I’ve ever seen.
On a wednesday night in the Hungarian Cafe, New York City. by Gregory Muenzen
That’s odd, I don’t remember going to the Hungarian Cafe (about 10 years ago by the looks of it)

BASICALLY I HAVE A STRONG STRONG URGE TO FIND OUT JUST HOW BIG THIS FANDOT IS, SO LET’S ALL PLAY SOME TRAVELLING LEMON SO WE CAN SEE.
mcxi:
kriskenshin asked for: ”After the fall Sherlock creates the character ‘Moran’ so he can control Moriarty’s network and take it down. John is also trying to take down Moriarty’s network and plans to kill ‘Moran’ not knowing it is Sherlock.”
I am really incredibly stoked for this prompt and I really just hope I don’t fuck it up. (This has been in my drafts for ages but I was lucky enough to meet Kris at 221b Con and I wanted to get this done for her. <3)
There’s an odd hush about the compound as everyone readies their equipment. Buckles are snapped shut, zippers are pulled closed and ropes are wound. It is not silent, but the sounds are merely out of necessity. No one speaks for fear of breaking the delicate calm.
John checks the magazine before snapping it back into his gun. He adjusts the volume on his radio and recites the pass code for the storage yard in his head. Months of planning have brought him to this very instant and he can’t let himself down by not being ready. He is. It’s time.
John looks around at the group of men and women around him, dressed in black and leather, and grins out of the side of his mouth.
“Put on your war paint,” he tells them, at last. Black lines are drawn under eyes and wool balaclavas are pulled down. They pile into an unmarked van and manhandle their hostage into position. Then they are out on London’s dark streets, driving towards destiny.
